More than a Robot

Besides building a robot and driving it we need students that are looking for opportunities in marketing and business.

  • Keep the website and social media accounts current and buzzing.
  • Create newsletters for our sponsors.
  • Create graphics to make a great image for the team.
  • Apply for awards, to earn points to help us advance to the State Championship

Sponsorship

Students are not required to participate in all of the available “seasons”. However, since sponsorships account for most of our budget, students are expected to participate in activities designed to retain and acquire sponsors. This not only makes our finances work but builds a student’s skills in the development and delivery of presentations to adults in a business setting. These sponsor development activity typically occurs during the summer.
